What Do Managers Do?

Part Two of the Essence of Management course invites us to deeply reflect on the core question: What do managers actually do?

• We are encouraged to pause and write a one-line summary of the manager’s role—not our personal job, but the purpose of the managerial function itself.
• This section emphasizes active engagement, urging us to think, reflect, and put ideas into our own words rather than passively consuming content.
• The reflection exercise sets the foundation for the next module, where we’ll compare our answers to a more structured definition of management.
